Goin' Away For To Leave You

(album: College Concert - 1962)

Well, I'm going away for to leave you. Might not come back any more (more, more)
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore
Honey on that far distant shore

Well, now, I'm going down to New Orleans, just to ride on the river boat
Gotta keep bailing all night long just to keep the darn boat afloat

Well, I'm going away for to leave you. Might not come back any more (more, more)
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore
Honey on that far distant shore

Here is where I was born and raised, where the cold, cold North wind blows
But I'm going back to old Tennessee where my good gal only knows

Well, I'm going away for to leave you. Might not come back any more (more, more)
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore
Honey on that far distant shore

Keep a light in your window. Keep it burning bright
Someday I'm gonna come a-knocking at your door. Baby, I'll treat you right

Well, I'm going away for to leave you. Might not come back any more (more, more)
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore
Honey on that far distant shore
